(CP Photo) Professors Dismissal Has Big Repercussions By ALEXANDER FARRELL NEW YORK (CP) -- Every day of classes since Jan. 4, a small file of pickets has been marching back and forth in front of St. John's Roman Catholic University here, demonstrating against what they call "paternalism" and "violations. of academic free- dom." ys They are the spearhead of a@ protest against the dis- missal Dec. 15 of 31 professors at St. John's, with 13,000 stu- dents the largest Catholic uni- versity in the United States. This protest has been kept alive by the dismissed profes- sors and by 59 colleagues so disturbed by what they con- | sidered high-handed dismiss- als that they went on strike. The Vincentian Fathers, who own and operate the uni- versity, appear to have. won at least a short-term victory. fhe university has continued to operate in the January-to- fune semester this year by hiring 44 new instructors, can- celling a few courses and lim- iting the registration in others, and getting some in- structors to carry an extra teaching load. Very Rev. Joseph Cahill, aniversity president, said: *There is no doubt we've been hurt, but the damage is not fatal. St. John's is going to emerge greater than ever." The dissident professors, the vast majority of whom are Catholics, contend that the university is on the road to ruin. Their position is that St. John's is so rigidly run, and so out of touch with the spirit of renewal let loose in the Roman Catholic Church by Pope John XXIII, that its decay is inevitable. FACULTY SOUGHT VOICE The dismissals were the climax of two years of agita- tion at St. John's for a faculty voice in decisions on aca- demic matters. Twenty pro- fessors were informed by etter that they were de- prived immediately of all functions and duties, although they prould be paid to the end of their contracts, and 11 oth- ers were told their cuntracts would not be renewed when they expired in June. The letters cited no specific charges, but all 31 had at least one thing in common: They had been active in the effort to win for the facuity. authority over what they would teach, how they would teach it, who would head the various departments, and au- tomatic recognition of a pro- fessor's contractual right to his job after he had held it for a certain length of time. One of the leaders of this campaign, Prof. Andrew Rob- inson, had resigned from the St. John's faculty at the end of the 1964-65 academic year and gone to Canada. He now is teaching at the University of Ottawa. The administration has not been more specific: publicly, about the background to the dismissals than Father Ca- hill's statement that "a small, non - representative' faculty group had "challenged the Catholic character of this in- stitution." A three - member commit- tee named by the American Association of University Pro- fessors to investigate the St. John's dismissals, and headed by Prof. John Noonan of Notre Dame University's law school, called the dismissals 1 | | |. energetic an "inexcusable violation of | academic freedom." Father Cahill said AAUP committee had spent little time delving into the | the | administration's position and | its report could not be re- garded as fully objective. USING WRONG METHOD But 'the AAUP, on fort to the dissidents. Its ex- ecutive committee issued a statement in Washington say- ing it "has never looked upon the strike as an appropriate mechanism for resolving aca- | demic controversies or viola- tions of academic principles and standards." Three of those dismissed in December are priests, al- though not Vincentians. One of them, Rev. Peter O'Reilly of Chicago, a graduate of Chicago, a graduate of Tor- onto's Pontifical Institute of Medieval Studies, has re- | mained in New York to lead | the organized protest. With the objectives of get- ting a hearing for the dismissed professors and of keeping the St. John's dispute before the public, the protest is being carried on in two ways. One is the strike, with its pickets, and the other is public speeches by the dissi- dents to any group in the New York: area that will listen, Father Cahill said: from its twin objectives of St pang Unpoaiaes e jung twice mgucs. Svahuarus | of academic excellence with | adherence to the teachings and spirit of the Roman Cath- ; olie Church," When Father Cahill named president in the sum- mer of 1965, he called himself the "father" of the St. John's "family." His critics since used this remark as an avowal of the administration's paternalism, SUBTLE QUESTION Another of the dismissed priests, Msgr.

It must be an enlargement of the intellect, "The enlargement consists , in the mind's and simultaneous action upon and towards and among those new ideas which are rushing in upon it. ... "And a truly great intellect is one which takes a connected view of old and new, past and present, far and near, and which has an insight int othe influence of all these on one another... ." But Cardinal Newman said | those who believe the Roman | Catholic faith to be true must | accept a church role at all the | whole, has been a cold com- | levels of education. The uni- versity "still has the office of intellectual education, but the church steadies it in the per- formance of that office." Father O'Reilly, who taught philosophy at St. John's, said Toronto's Pontifical Institute is an example of a place of | higher learning that is Cath- olic 'without being narrowly and rigidly run." PRAISES BASILIANS He said the Basilian Fath- ers, who operate the institute, "are serious about education." There has been a good deal of lofty language uttered about momentous issues involved in John's dispute, but Father O'Reilly said the rea- son for the strike is quite simple and down to earth. "We were fired without any specific charges against us, and without being given any opportunity of a hearing.

OTTAWA (CP)--The govern- ment now has approved 125 spe- cific recommendations of the Glassco royal commission on government organization, Rev- enue Minister Benson says. Mr. Benson issued a state- ment listing 25 recommenda- tions that have been adopted in recent months. Most decisions were announced previously. The government was criti- cized in his last annual report by Auditor - General Maxwell Henderson for slow implement- ation of the Glassco report, which was submitted in five parts in 1962-63. The decisions listed by Mr. Benson Thursday include trans- fers of powers between various departments, a merger of wel- fare branches in the health de- partment and creation of a real property bureau in the defence department. Some of our colleagues thought this so serious a mat- ter of principle that they have gone on strike in support of ad For about two weeks after the January resumption of classes, there were conflicting reports as to h many of the 400-member Waculty were staying away from their classes in protest. A New York subway strike made it impossible, in many cases, to tell whether an_ individual was staying away on principle or because he couldn't get a ride. When the picture cleared, it showed a group of 90 con- firmed dissidents, counting both those who were dis- missed and those who, in ef- fect, have fired themselves by going on strike in support of their colleagues. The uni- versity administration has en- tered into no dialogue with the dissidents, either publicly or privately. The dissidents expect their organized protest to end in June, the end of the current academic year.. Many are married with families and they stand to suffer, econom- ically and professionally, if they go much longer without new teaching jobs. Father O'Reilly said it is costing about $10,000 a week to finance the strike.

Fourteen others have been sen- tenced to hang but all have ap- peals pending. The cabinet is expected to an- nounce shortly before May 18 whether -Lyding's sentence will be commuted to life imprison- ment or allowed to stand. Either choice is bound to be contro- versial. If the sentence is commuted, proponents of the death penalty inside ang outside Parliament will argue that the cabinet is ignoring the recorded opinion of the House. If Lyding 1s executed, oppon- ents of capital punishment likely will claim Canada is reversing a 10-year trend and returning to a barbaric and unjust practice. MPs are discovering glumly Teeners Demand Truscott' Probe TORONTO (CP) -- Five hun- dred Metropolitan teen - agers want the federal government to hold an inquiry into the Stephen Truscott murder case. They have signed a petition they hope to present to Solicitor-General Lawrence Pennell, says David Austin of Clarkson, Ont., Grade 13 student who organized the pe- tition, The signers came from six high schools in the Toronto area. All claim some knowledge of the case through reading Isa- bel LeBourdais' book, The Trial of Stephen Truscott. The teen-agers say in a cover- ing letter which accompanies the petition that "We are not judging whether Truscott is in- nocent or guilty. We want an inquiry to do that .. . to see if the.charges made by Mrs. Le- Bourdais are true. They are too serious to be ignored." that after 94 speeches and four votes ina five-day debate; they have failed again to settle the historic issue. The rules prevent Parliament from reopening the debate during the 1966 session. Even the cabinet is split on the issue. Prime Minister Pearson and 17 of his colleagues voted for abolition of the death penalty without reservations or condi- tions, They included Solicitor- General Larry Pennell, whose duty it is to review every capital murder case in detail and make a recommendation to cabinet for or against commutation. Six other ministers favored re- tention of the death penalty. They are Justice Minister Lu- cien Cardin, Associate Defence Minister Leo Cadieux, Northern Affairs Minister Arthur Laing, State Secretary Judy LaMarsh, Fisheries Minister Hedard Robi- chaud and minister without port- folio, John Turner. DIDN'T TAKE PART Two ministers did not take part in the vote and their views are unknown -- Revenue Minis- ter E. J. Benson, who was ab- sent Tuesday, and minister with- out portfolio John Connolly, gov- ernment leader in the. Senate. The Pearson government so far has commuted every death sentence it has reviewed -- 20 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Mondey, April 11, 1966 17 UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) Moussa Leo Keita, the president of the UN Security Council, who Thursday defied efforts by Brit- ain and other Western states to summon a session on Rhodesia, has never taken part in a coun- cil debate. The 38-year-old delegate from Mali presented his credentials to the secretary-general as his country's resident representa- tive only three weeks ago. His appointment such a short time before Mali touk gver the often delicate and ticklish task as president of the council for the first time caused some sur- prise among diplomatic observ- ers, This was particularly so as Sori Coulibaly, whom he re- placed, was one of the most ex- perienced African diplomats at the United Nations. Coulibaly's work as chairman of the General Assembly's spe- victed murderers have been exe- cuted. Executions generally were twice as frequent as com- mutations until 1956, when a public outery over the hanging of Wilbur Coffin helped reverse the tide, Many persons argued Coffin was innocent of the slaying of three American hunters in the Gaspe bush, but a Quebec royal commission reported last year evidence pointed toward his guilt. Moussa Leo Keita Faces Tough Session At U.N. cial committee on coionialism for four years gave him an intimate knowledge of the com- plicated rules and workings of UN bodies which Keita lacks. Of medium height, with a goatee beard and bearing tribal markings on his face, Keita is comparatively unknown to most diplomats and correspondents at the United Nations. REPRESENTS MALI He is in fact his country's representative to four countries --Canada, the United States, Haiti and Brazil--as well as to the UN. Keita attended the General Assembly in 1964 and 1965 on behalf of his country. Born in July 1, 1927, in Mada- oua, Niger, which then, like Mali was part of French West Africa, Keita began a career in teaching as inspector-general of a training course at Bafoulabe in 1947. From 1949 to 1951 he taught and was headmaster of schools in Bafoulabe and in Bandiagara. His career with the Mali for- eign ministry began in 1961 and he held the posts of deputy sec- retary-general, chef de cabinet and secretary-general before his ambassadorial appointments in September, 1964. He was a member of the first UN training program for for- eign service officers from newly-independent countries, in in all. The killers who were shown mercy included psycho- paths, professional gangsters, sex maniacs and murderers of children, policemen and peniten- tiary guards. The last hangings in Canada took place in Toronto amid noisy demonstrations Dec. 11, 1962, when Ronald Turpin and Arthur Lucas were hanged back to ack, In the six years of the Diefen- baker administration, commuta- tions outnumbered executions 52 to 14.
